This week, my goals are:
- finish or close to finish the Kiss Me, I'm Irish
- figure out and work the Fish Kiss Lips heel on Keep Swimming
- possible start moving yarn totes up to attic room, after logging what's in each tote
April 15-21 goals:
- work on Kiss Me, I'm Irish and get to heels (at least)
- do that FLK heel on my Keep Swimming socks
- swatch for the Waves Tank
- pull out The Meandering Top and see where I'm at (it's been hibernating)
April 22-29 goals:
- complete the previous lists
- swatch for the Tegna top, the Vintersol sweater and the Rainbow Cardi
Well not doing so great on those goals! This week has not been a good week for crafting. If you hadn't read my Wednesday's post...I was rear-ended on Monday and have been dealing with whiplash this week. I was out of work on Monday and on Thursday. Thursday I was having back spasms and was flat on my back for seven hours....so couldn't really crochet or knit in that position.
I did get the yarn wound for the two sweaters...and yesterday at LYS day I bought yarn for a spring tee-shirt...The Tegna by Boyland Knitworks
I also received some yarn from a friend who was in Finland over spring break. I mentioned they had nice yarn and she found a yarn store....and was texting me at 4 in the morning to ask what I wanted! She sent pictures of yarn...I picked the one on the left and she surprised me with the other skein...although her puppy thought it was for her..hence the chewed up ball band..
So my list remains unchanged this week, except I had a finish of the chemo hat for my friend, Deirdre
Today we walked in a marathon for her

Around the World Afghan: (April 2010): about ¼ done - I looked at this recently and I'm still liking it, so I'll keep it...maybe make it a baby blanket instead.
Sunrise Sunset Afghan: this has been hibernating awhile, 6 squares done. I still love the look of this.

Honestly, I had to give up doing weekly and monthly goals when I realized I never accomplished anything on my lists. And it took me too long to get into the habit of updating all the time. So, I didn't.
Instead, I just revel in the fact that my YoP lists seem to magically not happen either.
Yup.
Love all your new yarn. The Sweet Georgia will be so pretty knit up.
Your friend in her chemo hat looks stunning.
Hope your whiplash starts to abate this week.
You poor sweetie! Whiplash...ouch! I hope you heal and it does not leave you with chronic pain. I didn't do well on my goals either...too much going on. Love your new yarns and the best of healing to your friend.
I always start with great ideas about goals and then they seem to go sideways. It seems that you are a bit better at that than I. I do love the "Magician" Colorway, the colors are subtle but will pop when knitted.
Congrats on your walk, what a big group of supporters your friend has! Abbey and I "Walked fur MS" this weekend and had a great time too. So glad to see the weather turning in the warmer direction.
I'm so sorry you were hurt in an accident. Having whiplash in my neck years ago, I know the recovery can take a while, but PT finally set me right (well, as right as I get anymore). I hope your injuries (while sounding much worse than what I received) heal up and you don't suffer lasting pain or discomfort. Hugs to you.
Like the others, I don't worry much at all about my YOP goals. I make my list and then I just do what I want to do. This year I haven't even remembered to plug projects in where they might fit on my list. I may save myself some time and just dispense with a list entirely next year. Can we do that? ;^)
How fun to receive yarn from another country! Your friend looks great in her new hat. What a lovely smile she has.
Oh no, I do hope you're on the road to recovery by now. And never worry about 'the list'! It is your list and how it evolves is entirely up to you, no guilt.
I love love love the colour way for your tee. Can't wait to see it knit up. The chemo hat is wonderful and good on all of you for walking toward a cure!
